If you do not fully understand the term 'civil libertarian', you will need to define it.Have a look at the following sites:

	NSW Council for Civil Liberties
	Liberty Victoria
	Canadian Civil Liberties Association
	American Civil Liberties Union
	All that Civil Liberties Jazz
	Human Rights

Be aware that several of these sites are American. You must try to discern the difference between the American situation and the Australian situation.

As a Civil Libertarian, you will need to consider the following questions and any others which need answering during your research:

	What are the advantages of DNA Profiling?
	What are the disadvantages?
	How does DNA Profiling fit in with the philosophies of human rights?
	What are the implications of DNA Profiling upon the right to privacy?
	What safeguards/processes would need to be put in place for you to be comfortable with DNA Profiling?

Remember to investigate these issues from the perspective of a Civil Libertarian and from an Australian perspective.

	Acid Test
	American Civil Liberties Union
	Australia's mass DNA testing
	Concern over proposed DNA databases
